PLEASANT GAP.
Our baseball team defeated the
Karthaus hustlers to the tune of 9 to
4 in their recent game here.
Little Mack Mulfinger, small son of
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mulfinger, who has
been seriously ill the past fifteen days,
is slowly recovering.
The Lego Bros., Earl and Paul, mo-
tored to Tyrone in their new sedan
last week and spent an enjoyable day
among their numerous friends at their
former home.
Our amateur baseball teams, the
Pike and Horntown, played an ani-
mated game a few days ago. The Pike
boys came out victorious, the score
being 15 to 1.
Mr. and Mrs. De Pone and Miss
Dorothy Mulfinger, of Williamsport,
are visitors at the home of J. C. Mul-
finger. Miss Dorothy is a student in
a Williamsport school.
Our tonsorial artist, Mr. H. C.
Crissman and family, enjoyed a pleas-
ant vacation, spending a week at the
Masonic camp at Snow Shoe Intersec-
tion. All enjoyed the sojourn im-
mensely.
Mrs. J. T. Noll was a visitor at the
J. Samuel Miller home, State College,
on Sunday. The many friends of
Master Raymond Miller will be sorry
to know of his serious illness. He is
suffering with inflammatory rheuma-
tism.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Sumner Miller, of
State College, were callers at the J.
T. Noll home on Tuesday afternoon.
‘The Millers, like most people who
ever resided at the Gap, evidently ap-
preciate an occasional return to their
former home.
Earl Rimmey, wife and son Keith,
Mrs. John Herman and Mrs. J. D.
Herman motored to Lewistown a few
days ago with a view of calling on
friends and relatives. They say Lew-
istown is still on the map and pros-
pering exceedingly well.
Mrs. Coak Bell, now residing ad-
Jacent to Philadelphia, spent a few
weeks at the Gap. She is the young-
est sister of Mrs. Henry Twitmeyer,
and in consequence of the latter’s ill-
ness she put in most of her time at
the Twitmeyer residence.
John Herman and wife, of Philadel-
phia, spent a few days with their par-
ents, Mrs. John Herman, of Pleasant
Gap, and Mr. and Mrs, Frank Weaver,
of Bellefonte. The presence of the
young couple is always highly appre-
ciated by their numerous friends here.
Paul Keller, the veteran book-keep-
er of the P. R. R., Philadelphia of-
fice, with his family, enjoyed their an-
nual vacation with friends in Altoona
and Pleasant Gap. Paul is a close ob-
server and a trustworthy official.
He enjoys his annual vacation home
immensely. He and his estimable
wife have many friends here.
The cherry and plum crops will not
reach forty per cent. of production,
while the apple crop throughout the
county will not exceed 33 1-3 per
cent. of marketable fruit. One-half
of the trees are bearing no fruit while
the apples on the other half are drop-
ping off. The cause assigned is the
unseasonable weather. A number of
the old orchards were badly damaged
by wind storms.
Evil is that which produces un-
happiness. Our earth is full of sor-
row, and every one has more or less
ailments, pains and weakness. Crime
is prevalent in all lands; hatred, ill-
will and malice are manifested with-
out limit, and I often wonder why a
just God permits evil to be in the
world and afflict the people so disas-
trously. Could He not have prevented
all this trouble, the fall of man, and
the thousands of years of suffering
that have been upon mankind? The
statement that Jehovah is all-power-
ful at once leads to the conclusion
that He could have prevented it had
His wisdom so dictated.
A. S. Eby, of the International Bi-
ble students’ ussociation, delivered a
very able lecture at 3:30 p. m. at
Noll’s hall, on Sunday. His subject
was “Divine Plan of the Ages, Mil-
lions now Living will Never Die.” The
hall was well filled and the speaker
was apparently highly appreciated by
all present. Mr. Eby contends that
the present time of sorrow, sickness
and death is to be followed by a gold-
en age, “there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any pain,” Rev. 21-4.

His discourse was very plain and sim-
plified. The contention that millions
now living will never die did not ap-
peal to me very forcibly. I had a lit-
tle actual experience. Fifty-five
years ago I was in business in Belle-
fonte; the town was well supplied
with a bunch of enterprising business
men, today my old friend, Capt. C. T.
Fryberger and myself are the only
ones left out of the entire bunch, all
are dead. Where do the million years
come in? It makes me feel as though
I were attempting to play ‘“nookey”
with the graveyard.
A number of our citizens were
shocked a few days ago when they
read the announcement in the daily
papers that our public servants who
are operating our penitentiaries de-
cided that the prisoners henceforth
must be supplied with tailor-made
clothes at the expense of the public.
The next move will likely be to add
ice cream twice a day to their menu.
Criminals should be reasonably well
clothed and should have a sufficiency
of palatable food, but there is no use
of resorting to injudicious and fool-
hardiness. It is intimated that a
halt will be called at an early day on
these resckless pretenders. Not fifty
per cent. of our hard working labor-
ers can afford tailor-made suits. It
is a noticeable fact that the majority
of prisoners who escaped the past
few years were short-term prisoners;
they evidently dislike to lose their soft
snap jobs. Too many luxuries and
comforts bestowed on these criminals
will cause more escapes, for pruden-
tial reasons. Matters are becoming
distressingly alarming. Ex-Governor
Frank Lowden, of Illinois, said in a
recent speech that the expenditure for
housing, feeding and attending the
criminals and charitable charges of
the various States now amounts to
between one-third and one-fourth of
the State’s total income. We must
practice more economy. “A word to
the wise should be sufficient.” Read-
er, kindly ponder over the existing
situation. Edward H. Smith, of De-
troit, puts the total annual levy that
crime places upon the country at not
less than ten billion dollars.

President’s Son Dead.
Calvin Coolidge Jr., son of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge, died at the
Walter Reed hospital, Washington, D.
C., on Monday night of last week, of
blood poisoning, the result of a blister
on his heel.
The end came after the boy had
battled with the utmost bravery and
fortitude for five days against a dis-
ease which had racked his body with
pain and sapped the reserve strength
of his frail constitution.
President and Mrs. Coolidge, who
had maintained constant vigil at the
hospital, were at his bedside, hopeful
and cheering and comforting their
son to the last.
A sinking spell, the fourth he had
suffered in 24 hours, brought death.
Notwithstanding the use of oxygen
and other restoratives, the courage
which had withstood crisis after cri-
sis and had beaten death off repeat-
edly, was unable to meet the final at-
tack. The collaspe began at 6:30
o'clock and he gradually sank into
eternity. He died at 10:30 o’clock.
Calvin was a most lovable boy and
the entire nation mourns with the
President and wife in the loss of their
youngest son. He was sixteen years
old and would have had one more
year at Mercersburg academy before
entering college.
The remains were taken to Ply-
mouth, Vt., where burial was made
in the family lot last Thursday.

The Ostrich Plume,
How quietly it seems to have pass-
ed from sight! The San Francisco
Examiner is doubtless right in saying
that the automobile more than any
other one thing has ruined the busi-
ness. An ostrich feather on a lady’s
hat in an open automobile comes out
of its battle with the wind a sorry
wreck. Another cause of the vanish-
ing plume has been the changing
style in woman’s dress. Picture hats,
it has been said, do not go with short
skirts. Then the “trade,” another pa-
per says, never had much love for the
ostrich feather because it lasted too
long. It adorned too many succes-
sive hats upon the same head. That
plucking it from the ostrich meant
cruelty is denied. It is really clipped
before the moulting season.

MEDICAL.
Help for Old Folks
Old Age Should be Happy—Not a
Time of Sickness and Suffering.
Too many people begin to suffer at
middie age with constant backache,
urinary ills and rheumatic pains and
aches. Weak kidneys are usually the
cause and, if neglected, there is dan-
ger of hardened arteries, dropsy,
gravel or Bright’s disease. Help your
weakened kidneys with a stimulant
diuretic before kidney disease gets a
firm hold! Use Doan’s Pills. Thous-
ands of old folks recommend Doan’s.
Here is Bellefonte proof:
Joseph Alters, carpenter, 310 E.
Bishop St., says: “My back ached so
badly I could hardly keep on my job.
It was hard to do any heavy lifting
and sawing. My kidneys acted too
often at times and the secretions were
scanty. I used Doan’s Pills from the
Parrish Pharmacy. My back is now
well and strong.

You who have been promising yourself a Ford

should buy NOW!
The time was never so favorable, because a
Ford will get you out-of-doors more hours every

is the lowest in the world for such values.
